The mention of Whitney Houston's death to prove a point about Chris Brown's behavior seemed completely out of the blue to me.
The article seems to suggest that since Chris Brown showed up at the Grammy's and didn't want to talk about the incident that happened 3 years ago, he's probably going to abuse a future girlfriend.
The article suggests that his personal life is more relevant to winning a Grammy than his music. These are all poorly drawn arguments.
"Yes. Businesses shouldn't have to subsidize illegal activity" (in response to the question of whether or not the House should have mandated that all states drug test all applicants for unemployment)is hasty generalization and possibly a loaded question/statement. There is no evidence provided to suggest that businesses are subsidizing vast amounts of illegal activity, but the statement is suggesting just that.
The point that mandatory drug tests will "eliminate the people who aren't ready and available for work," and strengthen the job market is begging the question. It is asking us to just accept that a strengthened job market will result from drug testing without providing concrete evidence.
A drug-testing regimen only "perpetuates myths and scapegoats the unemployed," is a hasty generalization because drug-testing could provide alternate conclusions. Drug-testing could also reveal a problem in an applicant, it could also reveal that the majority of workers are clean and able to work.
